Misinterpretation

It’s very easy to misinterpret correlation for causation or an effect of an action to be the reason for it happening. For instance, Walmart doesn’t sell a lot of stuff because it’s big. That’s an easy one. Apple doesn’t sell a lot of electronics because it’s a cool brand. Sorry.

You won’t become something by acting like it. You become something by being something and under 99.999999999% of the time that means real, honest, hard work. Maybe more importantly, smart work.
